Urgent help needed! Bricked iphone!

I tried to unlock my iphone yesterday, it worked fine until after it restarted my iphone, cydia was gone?? so i was like wtf and jailbroke it again, but then it kept saying 'Preparing filesystem' so i tried to restore it like a dumbass and it got bricked, any help? any youtube tutorials that may help? i really want my iphone back. I tried literally all the videos on youtube and none of them worked, I tried to restore it using snowbreeze and making a custom firmware and it gave me 3149 error, if you could even just help me getting past that error it'd mean ALOT.
Thank you guys! sorry for the bad language, I'm really pissed off at the moment.
Regards,
Ed

I'm not familiar with what a SHSH Blog is however I've done everything you've told me to do and it's currently restoring, this is what happened earlier when I tried to restore it to 4.1, it got bricked, hopefully it'll work. Will get back to you when the process is done. Thank you.

Everything went exactly as you said, except the end, the 'exit recovery' option in tiny umbrella is grayed out. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Scratch that, it's gone to the emergency screen, what now?
